Champagne on $300 thousand for a bottle


On November, 3rd, 1916, German submarine has flooded in Baltic sea near the Finnish coast the Swedish vessel “Johnkoping”, on which the party from 2000 bottles of champagne Heidsieck and Co Monopole (manufactured in 1907 for members of the Russian Imperial court yard was delivered). All collection of alcohol, which also included cognac and Burgundian wine, escaped. Almost a century later, in 1997 when fragments of the ship have been found out and lifted on a surface, it has appeared in hands of experts.
Now ten bottles from this unique champagne collection, which has for more than 80 years stored at the bottom of the sea, are exposed in Moscow hotel Ritz Carlton. It is possible buy only champagne: unfortunately, found cognac and the Burgundian wine have hopelessly deteriorated under the influence of time, salty water and pressure.
Ritz-Carlton, one of the most magnificent hotels of the world, positions surprising champagne as an excellent drink for billionaires. Those, certainly, with the big share of probability will stop in hotel: the price of room-number really impresses. And this champagne can become excellent addition to expensive supper.
